[0680] Modus Operandi
└ posted on Monday, 4 May 2015, by Novil
I have created a blog post in which you can ask me questions about Sandra and Woo.
- Melody: Thank you for the nice evening.
- Melody: Really made you believe I’m a filthy rich cannibal, huh?
- Richard: Haha, yeah. Ya really got me there.
- Sandra: “Cambridge, Massachusetts. Once again, the decapitated bodies of two young men were found near Upper Mystic Lake. Police now suspect a serial killer behind the murders.”
- Richard: I hope Melody won’t mind being “just friends”.
Common… It is just a coincidence… Well, every joke is partly joke and the rest is truth… At least that how they say it in Russia sometimes…
…Hmmm. I smell a juicy reappearance somewhere! gonna forget and “BAM!” she pops back up and a love tale unfolds. That or I smell the juicy smell of cooked heads, fresh from their mating experience. Hard to tell 😛
Darn it!
Time for private eye Sandy South to grab the case
She’ll be back….please?
She read about the deaths in the news paper, back at MIT. Knowing that he would look up the artical oline, Melody decided to pretend that she was the killer to make Richard nervous.
Oh, that’s a relief. I was afraid I was the only one this had happened to.
Haha! I love how this is all left ambiguous. Is she actually a murderer? Does Richard actually think she could be? We don’t know! 😀
@ SmartAlec105:
And this is why I love this comic. Novil is a genius!
Wow, she really puts effort into her jokes, a newspaper article about some “murders” to enforce the idea that she actually cuts off people’s heads?
That’s some top tier trolling right there.
So this turns into a murder mystery thread? I think like that direction more than the antagonism-turned-true-romantic one.
The previous issue is labeled “crime.”
Either she is a top tier troll, or an actual serial killer. No way of knowing, he made the right decision.
I really like the fact that she kissed him gently on the cheek. Affection instead of romance on the first date. And I’m holding out for her knowing about the Cambridge murders before agreeing to dinner. Girl’s got a wicked sense of humor! 😀
She knew about the murders. She knew he would try to see if there was truth. She knows and is messing with him!
Give that girl a cookie!!
You know once sandra is on her own married with a job, Melody might not be so bad. It will keep you young as you work to pork and live.
I recently just binge-read your comic. I love it so far! Although one thing does confuse me: https://i.imgur.com/PxeNn79.png
@ epitearo:
Easy, you live in the US.
To flip it, inquire if she’s into threesomes.
And the comic’s authors live in Germany. All clear now?
I said it before, and I’ll say it again…. Run, Richard, Run like the wind!!!!
The thing I wonder here is shouldn’t they report her? >.>
That troll…
@ GuyveroZ:
Circumstantial evidence! That’s all they’ve got!
Points to whoever recognizes that reference (I get that it might be a bit vague, but I will say this webcomic has alluded to this work in the past)
Just in case anyone cares Upper Mystic Lake is in Arlington, MA not Cambridge. The Arlington police would have jurisdiction there.
Hold on a sec….didn’t he drive her there for dinner? Is she walking home?
LOL
Wow…I Missed a lot, well..that was cute…
I want to see cloud, Sandra and larisa hunt down melody when she goes phyco, mabye in a dream, mabye in real life. Hey, weirder things have happened.
I wouldn’t get in a care with a lady who might be some sorta phyco killer, so walk on melody.
I guess richard made her, TAKE A HIKE1

She’s female. Would that make Melody a troll-op?? 🙂
Well, serial killers do have to work at being good liars if they want to stay out of jail while maintaining a “normal” life, so who knows what the truth is…?
Of course, if she -is- a serial killer, refusing any romantic advances will probably set her off and Richard will be in DEEP TROUBLE… 0_0;
@ Iron Ed:
THAT joke has been used before, but it’s still good… especially if the female in question is acting like a trollop.
@ Iron Ed:
Ugh. I need an (Robert) Aspirin after that joke.
Maybe Melody will never be revisited which could make this whole arc a troll? Troll-ception anyone?
TWO young men?
What an appetite…
@ bogwombler:
It’s probably an alternate universe, with slightly skewed jurisdiction borders.
And talking animals. 😉
More importantly, there’s actually a lake called Mystic Lake in the US? That’s kinda cool, and funny, and pretty uninspired 🙂
Woah! Richard is going to friend-zone Melody…
Melody once worked for the Globe, and if you look closely you’ll see that the article is dated April 1. That or she just hacked their website. Now that I think about it, probably the latter.
I like a feisty woman who can hold her own. Though I’m still not on board with the whole potential decapitation thing.
Bet all the misogynistic anti-feminists feel kinda dumb now.
Oh wait, they never admit when they’re wrong.

That’s because they never expose themselves to contradictory opinions with impartiality.
…This…isn’t funny. Cannibalism is really repulsive. I don’t see anything funny in these last couple of strips….
Why would you even WANT to be friends with her?! She has been nothing but condescending, and is a psychopathic serial killer. Report her IMMEDIATLEY.
its good to see that Richard is thinking of quitting while he is ahead
Is Upper Mystic Lake in the Miskatonic river valley? Just checking.
Decapitating someone with a pair of garden shears would be very difficult. A Guillotine would work much better. Or so I’ve read.
@ Agarax:
That would need a lot of force and might damage the shears rather soon, yes. Though you could use it for the soft parts only after having taken a saw or something to the spine.
@ that87guy:
You mean while he has a head?
@ DiamondSentinel:
I feel like I remember Calvin saying that a few times in Calvin and Hobbes.
